Tyres & Balancing
Tyres can only be repaired in the area marked 'T'
In every case the tyre should be
inspected and if any of the following are noted
Illegal tread depth (below 1.6mm across the central ¾ of the tyre tread throughout the entire circumference)
Run flat damage - breakdown of the tyre's structural integrity
Secondary damage - caused by the injuring object
Ageing/deterioration of tyre rubber
Bead damage
Exposed cords faulty/poor previous repairs
Wheel alignment, sometimes referred to as tracking is part of standard vehicle maintenance that consists of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are set to the car maker's specification. The purpose of these adjustments is to reduce tyre wear, and to ensure that vehicle travel is straight and true without "pulling" to one side.
